The Husk Queen is the first book in the fantastic series titled Apologues of the Vessels. It introduces us to the world of Aoân and the land of The Havens, where a young Orc named Arsu Ne’Jia treads a world torn apart by religious tradition and Human greed. A deep hunger for sanctuary holds her heart steady and pure, but powers beyond are savagely ceaseless and unbound. Arsu must wade a difficult path on a dangerous journey to uncover her own mysterious powers, all while coming face to face with the world’s wretched truths. Together with her dearest friend, Deusma, they will weather many storms, find love and kinship, and discover the beauteous wonders of Aoân.

Readers will feast on whimsical writing fit for a rainy night by a warm fire. They’ll meet characters whose blood runs rich with lore, storied times, and worthwhile memories. They’ll feel anger and sadness, they’ll feel joy and triumph. But, most importantly, they’ll feel possibility.
